Sectors

Eight markets, each with its own failure mode. What changes between them is not the product list — it is which property governs.

Mining & metals

Heap leach pads, process solution ponds, tailings storage facilities, waste rock dumps, haul roads and closure caps.

Double-sided textured HDPE for interface friction on pad slopes, GCL as a secondary barrier under the primary liner, and drainage geocomposites in the solution collection layer.

Waste & environment

Municipal and hazardous landfill base lining, leachate lagoons, capping and closure, landfill gas collection and contaminated land capping.

The classic composite: GCL, 1.50–2.00 mm textured HDPE, cushion geotextile and a drainage geocomposite in the leachate collection layer.

Water & irrigation

Potable and raw water reservoirs, irrigation ponds, canal lining, dam upstream faces, treatment lagoons and stormwater attenuation.

Smooth HDPE where the subgrade is prepared, GCL where the reservoir must hold water without a synthetic liner exposed, and geotextile cushion under rock armour.

Transportation

Road subgrade stabilisation, asphalt reinforcement, railway trackbed and ballast protection, airport pavements, embankments over soft ground and retaining structures.

Biaxial and triaxial geogrid to cut base course thickness, woven geotextile for separation, and uniaxial geogrid in reinforced soil walls.

Energy & oil and gas

Secondary containment for tank farms, frac and brine ponds, refinery bunds, biogas lagoons and floating covers, coal ash impoundments and solar farm civil works.

Chemical resistance governs: HDPE for hydrocarbons, polymer-enhanced GCL for brine, and a leak location survey before commissioning.

Agriculture & aquaculture

Irrigation ponds, farm reservoirs, shrimp and fish ponds, silage clamps, slurry lagoons and greenhouse water storage.

Smooth HDPE at 0.75–1.00 mm, welded on site, with an anchor trench detail and a UV-stable exposed specification.

Coastal & hydraulic

Revetments and breakwaters, scour protection, land reclamation, dredged sediment dewatering, river training and flood embankments.

Heavy nonwoven and composite geotextiles under rock armour, geotubes for dewatering and containment, and geocells on exposed slopes.

Tunnels & underground

Tunnel waterproofing, cut-and-cover structures, basement tanking, metro boxes and underground car parks.

Signal-layer geomembrane with a nonwoven protective fleece, compartmented with waterstops so a leak can be injected in one bay.

A specification review before tender costs nothing and usually changes something.
